A couple of days ago Caprio had also shared a post regarding the Ghazipur garbage dump in India, which is believed to soon surpass the height of Taj Mahal.

When Caprio won the Oscar for his film The Revenant , he used the stage and the winning moment to talk about climate change and about not taking the planet for granted. His Instagram bio also reads “actor and environmentalist”. A majority of the posts on his account reflect his concerns over the ongoing environmental issues around the world.

On the work front, he will be next seen in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood with Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie. The film is slated to release on 26 July, 2019.
